Okuma SLV Fly Reel

Okuma SLV Fly ReelOkuma SLV Fly Reel - A great looking reel, but the real story is that it's a very good entry-level reel.

Okuma SLV Fly Reel - Cast-aluminum reel that is surprisingly tight-fitting, with very little wobble in the spool. It has plenty of line & backing capacity without being too bulky, it is a very light-weight reel for its size. It's also a good looking reel, but the real story is that it's a very good entry-level reel. Like most Okuma reels, this one offers great value for the dollar.

Really a great reel, especially for the price. Have two 4/5 models that I use for small streams. Recommend the next size up when buying. I use the 4/5 w 3 wt line and about 50 yds of backing. Also have an 8/9 which has worked well in salt water. Very we'll built.

I bought the 7/8 because I liked my 5/6 so well. I catch 20 to 23inch fish pretty regularly on my home waters and these reels handle them beautifully . These are a great reel for the price. I would give one as a gift.

Great Fly Reel That's Less Than $100!! Can't Beat It!!! Extremely Happy!! Drag system is smooth... Easy to take apart &amp; adjust for right &amp; left hand retrievers.. Looks good with any set up! 1st time taking it out &amp; It worked beautifully! If your looking for a great entry level reel, this one's for you &amp; for the buck, it a steal!!! Get Yours!!!

Second Okuma reel I have bought. Great reel, love the quick drag system but have not tested it out on a large winter steelhead yet. The problem I have had with the 7-8 reel is the arbor is too small for the Rio steelhead line I bought for it and can only fit 50 yards of backing on it. The 8 wt fly line is a touch larger so I am going to change the fly line in the future to see if that helps. It is a great reel for the price.

You can not buy a better reel for the price. They are not as pretty as a more expensive reel. The bearings are not quiet as smooth as a more expensive reel but if you want a reel that will do the job for a small price this is your reel.
